Summary
A young Human doggedly loyal to the Vulcan Resistance is turned over to Lieutenant Colonel Data Soong for interrogation after their insurgent cell is raided by the C.S.S. World Razer. Hardened to Confederate Humans and their petty, ugly, uncontrolled emotions, they are, suffice to say, not prepared.

Summary
PICARD: ...which requires I now ask you a very serious question. Since the two of you are so closely related to each other-
DATA: The answer, sir, is that my loyalty is to you and Starfleet. Completely.
Following his reassembly, Lore attacks no one, and reveals nothing. Instead, he decides to stay on board the Enterprise. To stay with Data, that is.
An exploration of changing crew dynamics, and a developing relationship- the natural attraction which comes between two creatures that are the only members of their kind.
Now complete!

Summary
“How fascinating,” murmured Data, through the mouths of the gathered Borg drones. “I do not think this was supposed to happen.”
“Data.” Jean-Luc’s voice was desperate, and he had to force himself to remain still and not move forward again, trying to reach his friend. “Data, if you’re in there—if you somehow have control over the Borg, stop them. Do anything you can to make them go back, or slow down, so that we can figure out a way to get rid of them,” he demanded. “Data, listen to me. I don’t know what they’ve done to you, but if you can do something—”
The closest Borg drone’s head snapped up, locking eyes with Jean-Luc, and when Data spoke next, it was only in one voice. “I am sorry, Captain,” he said, sounding downright patronising. “I do not take orders from you anymore.”

During First Contact, Data is assimilated by the Borg, with unexpected consequences, and Geordi is forced face-to-face with a purely evil version of his best friend. -

Summary
Lore is Data's mirror image, at least in looks, but in all other matters they are polar opposites. During the events of Descent however, Lore is shown steadily trying to shape Data into a copy of himself, feeding him negative emotions and shutting down his ethical programming to make him more biddable. This is my take on what could have happened if Lore had gotten exactly what he wished for. He wanted a copy of his own reflection, but he might be wishing this mirror only worked one way once he gets a taste of what having another insane android around could mean for him.
